You Want History

Album: Off With Their Heads (2008)

  • Yesterday you lay awake on your bed,
    And worked out you?d done everything that you said,
    That you knew therefore you'd got to be saved,
    The lord of the bored and a slave to her (wage?)

    [Chorus]
    It's a mystery
    Oh, it's a mystery
    You want some history
    Oh its a mystery

    So last night you got up and out of this room,
    The ceiling is peeling and covered in gloom,
    Jaguar shoes is the best you deserve
    Decision, a lesson you ought not to learn.

    [Chorus]

    Today as you shake off the drunken degree,
    All that is left is the faint memory,
    The downing,the drugs,all the nights on the tiles,
    It?s hard to remember but totally worthwhile.

    [Chorus]

    It's a waste of money
    You have to admit
    And its a waste of money
    You have to have it?

    It's a waste of freedom
    You have to resist
    If you're wanting history
    You've got it

    It's a waste of money
    You have to admit
    And its a waste of money
    You have to have it?

    It's a waste of freedom
    You have to resist
    If you're wanting history
    You've missed it

    [Repeat: x2]
    Don't stop moving
    You mustn't stop moving
    You can't stop moving
    You must join in
